Qatar for 2022! The announcement was made by FIFA yesterday afternoon around 6:30. In anticipation of the announcement, the Pearl (upscale shopping area where I live) had set-up jumbo TV screens and huge speakers. As soon as it was declared Qatar for 2022, "We are the champions" played loudly over the speakers and cheers erupted. I had plans to go out last night. The streets of Doha were backed-up in grid locked traffic with everyone honking horns, Qataris sitting on top of their SUVs, and kids hanging out the windows. One word-chaos! You could not help get goose bumps over the pride of Qataris that their beloved growing country won the bid. What to do now? Rumor has it-build air conditioned out door stadiums and an "out of limits" underground city for non-Muslims activities.
Congrats Qatar!
